  1. I dropped and lost a small piece of hash while watching that movie at Place Riel theater in the early 70’s

  2. Ottawa cop pleads guilty to criminal charges, resigns, gets house arrest and curfew
    https://ca.news.yahoo.com/ottawa-cop-pleads-guilty-criminal-141224368.html

    “The 15 charges against him included sexual assault, assault, aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, confinement, breach of trust by sharing a confidential Ottawa police intelligence report, several charges of possessing firearms without a licence, distributing an intimate image without consent, and damage to property under $5,000,”

    Unaccountability, that is why they sign up in the first place. Jackbooted thugs, one and all.

    1. Like the veterans, NATO was asking for more than he would give to the military.

      This does not end well.

    1. D B the stupidity is beyond belief. I have had and suffered with allergies all my adult life. I have been hospitalized for reactions, I have developed allergy induced asthma, my eyes would be so inflamed I could not see well enough to drive, I have taken steroids to combat the symptoms, I use inhalers when needed, there are not too many over the counter drugs that I have not taken. Just think for over 60 plus years I have had “covid”. “They” really do think people are stupid.
      I am still in very good physical shape for my age allergies aside, I always viewed them as an inconvenience, not something that would kill me even though I guess at times they could have.
      The covid lie has to be buried, I am sick of stupid people and the covid bull sh*t.

      1. VOWG

        Am 70, have not had so much as a sniffle since 2003, when I believe I may have contracted Sars or a viruse similar to, having visited Toronto on business 4 times that year.

        Sick..? Unbelievably so: 103.5F for 4 days straight, barely make it to the bathroom..sore?? Insanely so. 2 weeks off work before I returned to some semblance of normality.

        Since that time: 5-6000 IU Vit D, Vit C w/zinc, Vit B12. Daily.

        As with you, am beyond sick n fkn tired of being pestered by Test kit e-mails, Health centre masking and all the other continuing Covid BS.

        When -Where do the hangings begin..??

  3. Pentagon Leaks Are A Reality Check To Ukrainian Ambitions
    The recent Pentagon leaks have confirmed what many already suspected — that Ukraine is facing a much more uphill struggle than the Western narrative would have us believe.
    It seems to be finally dawning on Western commentators that the odds of Ukraine achieving its aim of retaking Crimea and the Donbas, and fully expelling Russian forces, are slim. Continuing to fuel this delusion of a total victory means allowing the destruction and bloodshed to continue to no avail.

  4. Probably not weed’s fault, that correlation with paranoia, argumentation, voicing absurd theories, isolation, narcissism, escapism .. and they stink.

      1. I know I’ve been getting really paranoid since 2016.

        But… I don’t smoke pot.

        Oh yeah, that was the first full year with Shiny Pony as Canada’s Prime Minstrel! 🙁

  6. Canada Matched Biden Subsidies to Win Volkswagen Battery Plant
    https://archive.is/YWw09#selection-3469.0-3469.62

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government agreed to subsidies that may top C$13 billion ($9.7 billion) over a decade to land an electric-vehicle battery plant by Volkswagen AG, the company’s first gigafactory outside Europe…

    1. When the bastards try to lie to you & say there’s no subsidies for EV’s, don’t forget to point this out.

  7. Elon the Rocket God managed to launch his Big Azz Rocket , Starship , and it was mostly a success in that it cleared the pad and didn’t blow up.
    At least he always is entertaining on 420 Day.
    Twice the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket.
    Unfortunately Musk was stubborn in not placing a flame trench diverter and water deluge system in place for this historic launch.
    The concrete pad under the rocket was blasted out sending huge chunks of crete 100 metres into the air, surrounding vincinities and into the bottom of the rocket motors themselves.
    3 motors failed on takeoff, 2 more in flight with one blowing up midflight , for a total of 8.
    It unbalanced the rocket so much that past Max Q the rocket started to tumble end over end 3 times.
    What was impressive , was that the rocket stayed intact enduring incredible structural forces that would have torn other rockets apart.
    Thats stainless steel for ya.
    In the end Spacex initiated an auto destruct order and destroyed it.
    Still a success, now Spacex needs to build that flame trench and drench it with water next time.
    You think they would have learned from Nasa from 50 years ago on how to do it, Silly Rabbits.

    Pad damage.
